Im buying some new 15inch wheels and need to know what tire size to get with em. I have a 175/70/13 and with the Omni coilovers they sit right below the fender. I would like the new 15inch tires to be about the same height. Thx Ben

What size tires should I get?

The proper size depends on your car, not just the wheels you are using. So if you want to ask what size you should get, let us know what kind of car you have (year, model, body style, version)!

For a CRX, del sol, or pre-'96 Civic, the following sizes are usually best:

13" - 175/70-13
14" - 185/60-14, 195/55-14
15" - 195/50-15
16" - 205/40-16, 195/45-16

For an Integra or '97-00 Civic, the following sizes are usually best:

14" - 185/65-14, 195/60-14
15" - 195/55/15, 205/50-15
16" - 205/45-16, 215/45-16, 195/50-16
17" - 205/40/17

The '96 Civic came with two different tire sizes, depending on version. For DX versions and hatchback versions, the sizes shown above for the pre-'96 Civic are usually best. For all other '96 Civics, the sizes shown above for the '97-00 Civic are usually best.

This is open for discussion and by no means what you have to get, but as a general rule you cannot go wrong with these sizes.

If your year, model, and version is not listed above, the best size (at least, for street use, rather than track use) is generally one which has about the same outer diameter as the stock tire size for your car, preferably within 1 percent, and which is no more than 20 mm wider than the stock tire size. If you're still not sure, you can use the website of a tire retailer like the Tire Rack to find recommended size(s) for your car.

195/50-15 has about the same outer diameter and ride height as 175/70-13.

i would say a 195/50/15 tire, not too small but it will look serious
